Chapter 203
Visiting the Jiang family in 203
The Spring Festival in 1976 was spent in heavy snow.
This winter is particularly cold.
After the Chinese New Year, the sky had just cleared up, and Wang Baoxing and Liu Yulan slowly packed their luggage.
Yang Zhigang had already bought them the train ticket for No. 7 and two sleeper berths. They were about to rush to the capital to visit the Jiang family, the youngest son-in-law's house.
"Magnolia, do you have to bring these jars of pickled vegetables?" Wang Baoxing looked at the three jars and was hesitant, thinking that there was nothing in his family. How could he care about these things? It would be a joke to bring them over.
Liu Yulan didn't think so, and said while placing the things, "What do you know? Old Master Jiang likes to eat it. At the banquet that day, there was a dish of shredded meat and a dish of sour radish and old duck soup. The old master liked it very much, and it tasted so good."
"Ah? Is that right?" Wang Baoxing was stunned. He recalled the events that day, but unfortunately, he was like a fragment and had no impression.
"Go again? Tsk tsk, OK, listen to mine, be sure to install it quickly and be careful. Oh... I'd better use a straw mat to avoid stuttering and breaking along the way." Liu Yulan said as she brought a bundle of straw over the back stove.
Since Liu Yulan had explained this, Wang Baoxing did not raise any objections. He took the straw and wrapped it between the jar. The outside of the jar was covered with a layer of straw and then packed it.
Early in the morning of the seventh day, Yang Zhigang drove over, picked up the couple, took them all the way to the train station, and waited to help them get their luggage immediately before turning back. When he returned to the factory, he called Jiang Yan and told him that he had already put them in the car, and asked him to click to pick them up.
The two sons-in-law were very thoughtful in this arrangement.
On this side, Jiang Yan put down the phone, thought for a while, walked out of the office, came to Wang Miaomiao's small office, pulled a chair, and sat next to her.
Wang Miaomiao was working. Seeing that he was getting so close, it had already affected her work. She gave him an unhappy look, "Go over, don't get so close."
"It's so cold, I'll get closer to warm you up." Jiang Yan not only did not leave, but also got closer, "How about it? Be warm, do you want to warm your hands again?"
"Oh..." Wang Miaomiao was unable to treat his shameless behavior several times a day. She stopped working and stretched her hands forward.
Jiang Yanhan smiled and took her little hand and wrapped it in his big hand.
The weather is very cold this year. For Wang Miaomiao, a southerner, it is really not very suitable to survive in such a cold weather in the north. He has to change the hot water in the salt water bottle at least five times a day, and he keeps stuffing it into his clothes before he feels that there is still a trace of heat on his body.
Seeing that she was so afraid of the cold, Jiang Yan would stay by her side whenever she had free time and wanted to warm her hands.
"Just just now, my brother-in-law called and said that his parents had already gotten on the bus safely." Jiang Yan couldn't help but rub her little hands. The delicate and smooth skin made him feel more and more itchy when he touched it.
"Why..." Wang Miaomiao was happy, "when will you arrive tomorrow, let's go pick it up together."
"Okay, we'll be together at nine in the morning."
Jiang Yan grinded with Wang Miaomiao for more than half an hour before Wang Miaomiao drove back to his office.
The next day, the eighth, was Sunday.
Jiang Yan took Wang Miaomiao to the station at around 8 o'clock and found a good location early to wait there.
The train slowly stopped at the platform. Jiang Yan asked Wang Miaomiao to wait in place. He squeezed up by himself and soon found his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Dad, mom, it's been hard work all the way." Jiang Yan smiled and reached out to take the two big bags from Liu Yulan's hand.
"It's not hard. I'll send it to Gangzi before getting on the train. Now I'll pick you up. There's a sleeper on the train. I can still sleep. What's the hard work?" Liu Yulan said the truth. She really didn't feel so tired. She felt a little excited and excited. She took the train for the first time and went on a long trip.
The three of them were crowded with each other and finally squeezed out.
Wang Miaomiao looked at her eyes and saw the figure hurriedly greeted her, "Dad, Mom, I'm here. Are you tired..."
The few people greeted each other again and got on the car soon.
"Let's go to the guesthouse to settle down first." Jiang Yan suggested.
"Ah? When is it time to stand? Is it still time? You can't let your in-laws wait." Liu Yulan also wanted to go to the guesthouse first and take a break.
"It's time. It's only a few minutes away. My house is only ten minutes away from here." Jiang Yan gave the right words, and Liu Yulan was not confused and followed the arrangements of her son-in-law.
Soon, when Liu Yulan and Wang Baoxing packed themselves up, changed into clothes, took the gift again, and got into the car again with their things.
After this delay, the car drove to the Jiang family at 10 o'clock, but it was not too late.
"Oh, in-laws, you are here. Come in and sit in, Xiaoxue, go and make tea." Mr. Jiang stood at the door to greet him with a crutch, which was very empowering to the Wang family.
Liu Yulan and Wang Baoxing were already shocked when they entered the community. There were guards at the door, garden villas one by one, beloved... They were dazzled by the sight.
Mr. Jiang's words finally made them regain their minds.
"Oh, okay, aunt, uncle, come in quickly." Cheng Xue was very happy today. She learned that the good sisters really wanted to be their younger aunts and would be a family in the future. It was great. As for generations, haha, she had no pressure to let Sister Miaomiao be her younger aunt.
"Hey, okay, grandpa, why are you out? Go in quickly. It's windy outside, don't blow it and freeze." Liu Yulan and Wang Baoxing were welcomed into the lobby sofa and sat down.
Cheng Xue and Jiang Huilan have already brewed tea and brought it over.
Today, all the people who should be back in the Jiang family came back. Mr. Jiang called his descendants over and introduced them to the Wang couple one by one.
When the Jiang family saw this, they had a large population, and Liu Yulan and Wang Baoxing recognized each other well.
"This is some specialties, dry goods, roasted goods and pickled vegetables that I brought from home. They are not worth much, so don't dislike them." Liu Yulan pointed to the pile of things placed next to the sofa.
"How could it be? You guys are here, what else can you bring? You are so polite." Old Master Jiang smiled and looked very energetic. "Is there a radish in this straw bale jar? I smell it, it smells so good."
"Yes, your nose is so good." Liu Yulan was so happy to see that he didn't dislike him. She opened the jar and suddenly a unique smell of pickled vegetables filled the living room.
Mr. Jiang bent down directly, carefully pinched the top piece and threw it into his mouth, nodding and praised, "This taste is amazing, it's so fragrant. My in-laws' skills are good."
"Haha, as long as you like it." Liu Yulan was praised and laughed.
